We take a practical, child-safe approach to sustainability - using durable materials, smart design, and efficient construction to create healthier children and staff.

Optional upgrades such as solar and innovative heat source pumps are available for settings looking to go even further.

We use non-toxic, low impact materials that are built not only to last, but are safe for young children.

Energy-efficient design

A+ energy efficient buildings that ensure stable, comfortable temperatures year round - reducing costs.

Minimal waste and disruption

Our streamlined construction process reduces site waste, shortens build time and keeps disruption to a minimum.

The Process

Our Process

From first conversation to final handover, our process is designed to be simple, transparent, and stress-free. Scroll through to see how we bring your new space to life — step by step.

Step One

Understanding your needs, onsite

We start by learning your setting, your goals, and how your nursery operates - from room functions to outdoor play needs etc.

Step Two

Design & planning made simple

Layouts are shaped around age groups, staffing needs, and safeguarding - creating bright, welcoming spaces for care and learning. We handle planning applications and building regulations, and guide you through anything related to early years requirements.

Step Three

Offsite Construction

We prepare the site safely and efficiently, installing our low impact Ground Screws and pre-fabricating the Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) offsite. All whilst working to minimise disruption to your operation.

Step Four

Fast, efficient assembly

Your modular building is delivered and assembled on-site in as little as 4–6 weeks (depending on the size) — with minimal disruption to your routine.

Step Five

Handover & Aftercare

We walk you through your new space, ensure everything’s perfect, and remain available for support long after handover. Every build also comes with clear warranties and peace of mind.

Testimonials

Client Stories

"Before I commissioned Eco-Classrooms and Nurseries, I had met with several other companies seemingly offering something similar. The problem was that they all wanted to put a wooden ‘box’ on my site, the same box that they were using at locations across the country. Whilst these looked pleasant enough, they didn’t really consider what I wanted for my Montessori preschool or how to take advantage of the intricacies of the site.

Eco-Classrooms and Nurseries were the first company that listened, and that proved to be the deciding factor. Nick, and his architect Ian, recommend a concept that was bespoke to me, my preschool and the requirements of the site. This included working with several stakeholders such as The Diocese, Local Authority, Parochial Church Council, Parish Council and organisations such as Heritage England. Ian took charge of the planning process which was a huge weight off my mind.

The build itself was incredible to watch and be a part of. It was completed within a three-month period, and I was kept involved and updated at every stage. The materials used were of an excellent quality and the team of workmen were skilled in their respective trades.

Being on a school site it was imperative that disruption was kept to a minimum and Nick ensured this was the case, liaising with the school Headmistress as and when necessary. When we moved in, I was still able to speak to Nick regularly, raising any teething issues that would be added to the snagging list.

Almost eighteen months on from moving in, and with snagging complete, I know that I can always call upon Nick for advice about the building should I ever need it going forward. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eco-Classrooms and Nurseries to anyone who really does want their dreams to come true."

Principal of Daisies Montessori

"Eco Classrooms and Nurseries designed and built a new preschool classroom for us at our nursery in Gloucestershire. The service they provided throughout the project was superb.

Ian navigated our way through the rigorous planning application and helped us overcome any challenges that came our way. Nick was fantastic throughout and very easy to communicate with. With Nick in charge of the build it went very smoothly without any hiccups even though we were working to a tight deadline.

There were no nasty surprises recommend costs and we stayed to the budget agreed at the outset. I would definitely recommend Eco Classrooms and Nurseries."

Simon Reynolds
Founder of Curious Caterpillars Nursery

"We went through a tendering process ourselves and found Nick to be genuine, honest and transparent from the start. We felt their build system was the best and the materials they use were the best. Communication was excellent from the start and we were constantly reassured.

The whole team listened to our needs and wants and made sure that they delivered the brief according to our needs and budget. Ian, the architect, was excellent in delivering the designs and we felt that we got more than we ever dreamed off.

We were supported in every way along the process and felt that we were in safe hands. We would definitely recommend ECO Classrooms and Nurseries."
